I had double pneumonia along with pleurisy about 18 years ago. I was in IC for a week. I guess it was touch and go but the pleurisy was so painful that I was on the morphine joy button and didn’t realize what was going on. They finally put a tube in my side and drained a bunch of liquid. I recovered fairly quickly after that. They sent me home with some Levaquin which came close to rupturing some tendons. It wasn’t a fun time.
That’s several of us who had it about the same time. Wonder what was going on?
Perhaps going off the deep end here but there was bunches and bunches of people here who had it and couldn’t shake it. It was so widespread that conspiracy theories were flying. There was even a report in the newspaper, with pictures, of black helicopters spraying across the town and county. The articles were online for years but can’t find them now. All I know is I was never so sick and still have lasting problems from it.
